Conquest III runs on a Microsoft Windows computer in a Web Browser that supports the Microsoft Silverlight 5 Runtime, such as Internet Explorer.
One way to provide users with Conquest III is with a Windows Desktop Shortcut to the Conquest III URL e.g. “http://Your-Server-Name-Or-IP-Address/Conquest III” (recommended)
There are parameters than can be applied to the URL to force “Kiosk” or full screen mode if so desired.
First time Use
First time use will take longer than subsequent uses because the client-side caches have to be created.
Conquest III requires the Microsoft Silverlight 5 Runtime to have been installed. If it has not been installed, Conquest III will request to install it via a button, “Install Microsoft Silverlight” in the top left of the browser window. However, unless the User’s account has Administrator privilege, they will not be able to do the install without their IT Department’s help.
Subsequent Usage
Conquest III will normally start quickly unless the workstation is of a low specification or is very busy, in which case the Conquest III progress meter may be visible for some time.
